Album not showing on iPod

So, I have an album on iTunes that isn't showing up on my iPod. In iTunes I can see it, I can play all the songs and all that. But, if I go on my iPod and go to artists, it doesn't show the artist name on there. Then if I go to my Cover Flow, it shows the album and I can play the songs from there. That's inconvenient for me and I was just trying to figure out why it's not like the others I have because it's the only one that's ever gave me this problem. Help is greatly appreciated!

iPod classic, iOS 2.x

For the missing Artists on your iPod, make sure their tracks in iTunes are not marked as "Part of a compilation" in iTunes. You can do this by highlighting the track, right->clicking on them and choosing Get Info from the shortcut menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to this option in the lower right hand corner. Lastly, sync the updated changes to your iPod if necessary.
